Steel wool is here shaped into words and printed onto muslin; in some images the plate is inked, rendering the words in white; other images are created from the remaining ink left in the wool, and a ghostly script word appears. The subject matter is a pun on the word for “Link” in Portuguese, and together forms a piece of concrete poetry that investigates the ways in which we connect-and don’t connect-in life.
To create the final piece, the individual rectangles of muslin were pinned directly to the wall.
